Annual Arts & Crafts Festival An annual Arts & Crafts Festival held in August attracts thousands of visitors and features 130 booths of fine arts and crafts. The festival, a long-standing tradition in the Wood River Valley, celebrated its 41st year in 2009. Participation is highly competitive; fewer than 20% of the artists who apply are accepted. The three-day festival, held since 2007 in Atkinson Park, Ketchum, features live music and entertainment throughout the weekend, artist demonstrations, and activities for kids. Admission is free. New Building The Museum is in the process of fundraising to build a new building in Ketchum, designed by noted architect Tom Kundig of the Seattle-based firm Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects. The new building will include flexible spaces for exhibitions and performances and will serve as a gathering place for the community. The Museum has registered the building for LEED certification.
